Check out Erick Green’s +/- on Thursday night. Tech was +32 in the 33 minutes he played, and -17 in the 7 minutes he didn’t. The +/- for the bench was greatly skewed by those final 5 minutes of the game. For example, both Wood and van Zegeren were around +20 until vmi used that 16-0 run to cut their deficit in half. And check out the +/- for Joey Racer — he was -18 in just 4 minutes of action.

In addition to his passion for Hokie hoops, Niemo has attended 126 straight VT football home games (every game since '94), eclipsing the 100 mark in September of '09 and recently attended his 20th consecutive VT/uva game.
During the final home basketball game of his senior year, he was brought onto the court and was awarded 2 passes to the Atlantic 10 Basketball Tournament in Philly during a timeout for being a "Super Fan" during his time at VT. The Hokie Bird made the award on behalf of Athletic Director Jim Weaver. Niemo was known to be in the front row of every home game with his familiar red afro hairdo.

I think his minutes have been limited since he missed a bunch of practice time attending his family funerals. They’ll start working him in more and more. And it didn’t help he was in with the walk-ons today.

The Hokies experienced their worst season since the ricky "program bomb" stokes era. Sure, it would have been easy to quit on you, but did we quit when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? HELL NO!

And we do it for free! But, just like NPR, we rely on the generosity of our loyal fans to help keep this humble Hokie website alive. That being said, see how you can help TechHoops.com make it to 10 years!

Jon King, Ben Floyd and Dan Rickenbach all got in on the action and we encourage all TechHoops heads to do the same.

Any donation amount earns you a spot in our Wild Hokie Club. We'll even give you a shout out on Twitter and Facebook. We may even let you get armcurled by Niemo.
